London-based law firm Harbottle & Lewis sent Britain’s biggest newspapers legal letters claiming that snaps of Harry, 27, covering his crown jewels with his hands during a game of naked billiards in Las Vegas over the weekend, were in breach of the Press Complaints Commission code.

“The lawyers said any one publishing them would be in breach of the PCC. The media outlets were also warned that their privileges for access to media events featuring the royal family could be restricted if they did use the pictures.

“Of course, the British media is very careful when a royal scandal is revealed nowadays and has to bow down to the royal family’s demands.

“But despite the ban on the UK press, the pictures have already circulated around the world on the internet. Everyone has seen them, so Harry’s blushes will never be spared – not in this day and age,” the source revealed.

In an attempt at working around the ban, British tabloid The Sun staged their own reenactment. They hilariously snapped one of their reporters standing in the nude, clutching his private parts with a mystery girl behind him.
